Black electrical tape is a much sleeker solution.

That's a really interesting point. Thank you for the perspective.

I think you should look up the definition of hate speech.

Oookay buddy. I didn't know about the prison statistics. I do now, and I even thanked you for providing the link. It has everything to do with the argument, because we're talking about online harassment , which you can't do

Not with the sentence lengths and recidivism rates of our justice system. Do you know how hard it is to get a job and stay out of prison with something like a felony on your record?

My karma score from this thread begs to differ. I'm not here to convince people that my opinion is 100% right, I'm here to provide alternate viewpoints that might broaden someones perspective. All you appear to be doing is trollin

Then ask her about her career at the bank and if she ever felt it would've progressed more easily if she was male. Otherwise you're just making assumptions about her feelings.

> the premise that women get more harassment online than men If you are a woman, online, than you'll be harassed more than if you were a man, online. If you want to go by ratio, then yeah, but that has nothing to do with the argumen

I'd love to hear your reasoning.

TIL, thanks for the link. However, I don't think they have xbox live in prison.

That's a great point, and I completely agree that reported stats are not equal to the actual stats. I would still say that there are more women raped in America than men.

Ask your mom.

Fair enough, I just assumed people would accept the premise that women get more harassment online than men without me having to cite a study. It seems pretty obvious to me.

Uh, no one is? The article is very clear about who the problem is.
261.
by pyrocat 13y ago
So let's say that is true. It obviously doesn't matter to the woman who hears it. So how do we fix it?

Bullshit. They are not equally hostile to everyone.

by pyrocat 13y ago
I'm saying it's more of a realistic threat to women than it is to men. And because of data ( http://www.rainn.org/get-information/statistics/sexual-assau... ), when it's a women, the likelyhood that t

You're really going to argue that more men are raped than women in America?
266.
by pyrocat 13y ago
The former. If you're not convinced other peoples reactions to what you say matter, then try making dead baby jokes in front of someone who's had a miscarriage. As for the latter, I would suggest instead that more women are driven

Bullies will find a way to harass people, regardless of gender, is your point? I agree with that. The article is trying to point out that the gaming community is hostile towards women. I don't think your point is all that relevant to t

Women get way way way more shit online than men. Ignoring that is disingenuous.

Would you agree that there's a difference in severity between telling a man "I'm going to come to your house and rape you, you stupid faggot" and telling a woman "I'm going to come to your house and rape you, y
